mutella - running 24/7 with unix screen ?
 

Hi,

I am running mutalla on my linux box at home. I would like to run it 24/7, but the linux box doesn't have a monitor on it.

Is there any way I can run mutalla 24/7, and on demand, whenever I ssh in from work or from home, call up mutella and run searches, downloads, etc ?

thanks !

steven.

use "screen" man screen
screen mutella
[ctrl+a] then [d] to detach
screen -r to reattach

I've used gnute and now mutella for a little more than two years in this manner.

One thing I'll add to the above post.

I use:

screen -r -d


To reattach to my session. It seems to always work. With mutella's web interface, I spend about 50% of the time managing it that way.

screen is a beautiful thing.

I've been running OpenSSH for the past several months. Along with a router port forwarding of 6346 to the mutella session.
